Questions for Camper: Ryan

Hi, my name is Ryan.  Last year was my first year at Timber Lake West.  It was so awesome!  I had visited the camp the last few years on Visiting Day to see my cousins and knew that it was the camp for me.  I couldn’t wait for my turn to go to camp!

Going to camp is so great.  It’s great to be part of a bunk and have built-in friends 24-7.  There is freedom to do what you want to do at certain parts of the day and group activities and camp activities that get everyone involved. I made great projects at the Art Barn, a really cool pine car for the race, and had lots of fun at Canteen. I loved all the sports and nighttime activities.  I cannot wait to get back to my home away from home!
